Review & FAQ:

The Estonian Open Air Museum was planned and discussed for many years by Estonian literati before finally opening in 1957. The Estonian Open Air Museum takes visitors back in time to an 18th century rural village with life-sized reconstructions of the entire village. Some aspects include farmhouses, farmyards, sheds, several mills, a schoolhouse, church, an inn, a fire station, and other public buildings. Visitors are encouraged to explore the 72-hectare land and all of the buildings in it, which are arranged to represent Estonian vernacular architecture. There are many events and activities held at the museum for visitors to participate in, including those focused on traditional weaving, dance performances, and a Midsummer Day’s bonfire.
